This saying is so deep and relevant to what’s happening to people all over the world today in regards to where they come from.
Think about it, how far back in your family history can you remember (and by remember, I don’t mean to simply know family member names)? When I say remember, I’m speaking in terms of what would a Wikipedia page on the person you're remembering look like when you’re done regurgitating what information you know about them on it.
This is an important question to note because ALL OF US have a family history extending to the beginning of time but few of us can remember past a few generations of that history. Why is this? It is because each of our histories has been broken somewhere in our families timeline, none more severely than the descendants of “African” slaves that were a part of the Holocaust inflicted on them by evil people of this world.
Somewhere in each of our families lost history there is someone that fought AND WON a life or death battle for survival, a hero. When that history was lost, a great story of pride and courage was lost with it. Somewhere in each of our families lost histories we had someone that was alive during the life of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Moses and King David, what were they doing during those time periods? Most people on this planet can not answer this question. Most can only tell what the descendants of others were allegedly doing during these time periods. Someone in each of our families history had their own answer to these questions tho. Why don’t we know it?
When you don’t know your family history you are, by default, the one starting the history. It is my hope that every one of us could write a detailed Wikipedia page on the story of our OWN lives if we had to. If intelligent and honestly written, each story would include personal battles fought and won or loss, that no one else knows like us. It would include our stories of love told like no one else could tell like we could. Basically each of us holds a road map to the treasure of our thoughts that only we know the route too. Sure, some of us may have people that could direct people to the general area of that treasure but NO ONE could put someone else as close to the buried treasure as the person that buried that treasure.
The treasure you buried in your mind provides a road map for your descendants to build upon. Without which they would have to search for it themselves from square one (and perpetually do so if they should never document their maps ). Think about it, If you left this earth today and others had to write a Wikipedia page on you, do you think they would be able to convey exactly what you have done or the things you thought and believed ON EVERYTHING as you would want it said?
People ask how could “blacks” have gone from greatness to squalor, the answer is simple, they lost their history. If your ancestor was great but you don’t know they existed let alone what they did to attain that greatness, what good is that history to you?
At this point you will have to begin a new chapter of greatness by searching for the treasure your ancestor may have already found.
